With the joy of Christmas we welcome New Year with some new hope and aspirations. This is the right time to manipulate all our mistakes of last year and keep up new resolutions to rectify them all. Setting up goals and working hard to achieve them is a very important skill which everyone should develop. New Year is the right time to teach your child on how to set their goals by keeping up New Year resolutions. From this tender age if they learn to work on their goals, they would definitely climb up the ladder of success. As children are not that mature to set some high goals for their New Year, hence you should help them with keeping their New Year resolutions. You should start with some good habits that your child would learn while keeping up with the resolution.
Teach your child to practice good hygiene throughout year. Brushing teeth every night before going to bed, washing hands before having meal, taking regular bath, keeping nails clear, using hanky before coughing or sneezing are some of good hygiene which you may ask your child to set as New Year resolution.
Eating healthier diet is the most important factor which should be counted in New Year resolution for your child. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables while keeping away from too much of chocolate, drinking milk regularly, having breakfast on time are some of the healthier food habits which your child should develop in this New Year. Few children have the habit to eat faster without even properly chewing the food. Hence you must also teach them to chew their food properly before swallowing.
This is the world of computer and internet, anyone can get addicted to its wrong side. Hence you must ask your child to limit their use of internet this year and never disclose any personal information or open any forbidden sites in their absence. While making them aware of bad aspects of internet, you will help them understand their responsibilities.
Teach your child to be helpful and generous to others. Ask them that with this New Year they would help poor children by giving their old clothes and toys. They will go to church and pray to god regularly for the well being of humanity. Likewise they will learn to volunteer things with their own perception.
Decency in behavior of child is very essential; hence your child should make it a New Year resolution to behave politely with their elders, fellow mates, teachers and parents. They will learn using words like thank you, sorry, excuse me, mention not etc. This way their attitude and behavior would develop.
